She was my fave actress growing up as a gayling in bleaksville. She won an Emmy award in 1977 for lead actress in a drama series for her portrayal as Jaime Sommers in The Bionic Woman. That ABC/NBC series made her a star and a household name during the late 70s. Throughout her 50 yr career she has starred in theatrical films, television films and series and commercials. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (purchased by members of her fan club). She is currently staring in an upcoming indie film, When Jack Came Back. It is accumulating film festival awards. Enjoy some links I’ve provided and share your thoughts on this amazing actress.

I love Lindsay now as much as I did during the last half-dozen threads that were started about her.

She always seemed a little wacky, but a great actress.

I had heard one time that she had the highest Q rating in the country and that's why Ford hired her to do those commercials for so many years.

She sucked overall, and specifically, she stole the 1977 Best Actress Emmy from Sada Thompson.
Wow, she played two characters in an episode of a shitty sci-fi series that didn't even rack up 60 episodes—groundbreaking.
Best Actress my ass.

Ooh, the first Lindsay thread of 2023. Another chance to post my favorite songbird in flight.

I think her playing her own Fembot was very creatively liberating for her, without being the drag of the Patty Duke Show or Parent Trap.

R10 speaks blasphemy. Lindsay deserved that Emmy. No one has even heard of Sada whoever.

She was the wrong choice for Scruples. I disliked her back in the day though I loved Bionic Woman. Thinking back, I have an appreciation for the naturalistic (not the right word but I don’t know how else to describe it) style she brought to her acting.

You’re doing God’s work, recognizing my beloved Lindsay, OP.
R13, to my knowledge she never portrayed her own Fembot. Only Richard Anderson (Oscar) and Jennifer Darling (Callahan) did.

I thought she was so great in her debut as Jaime Somers at the time. She immediately made the character very vulnerable, funny, and human.
Of course, she was acting opposite a brick wall (Lee Majors) so one could either argue she had a greater challenge to work with OR that compared to him anyone would’ve come out looking like Katherine Hepburn.

R20 well, technically two brick walls, Richard Anderson had the range of a block of marble.

I’ve followed her career for almost 50 years and am surprised she’s never had a public relationship, to my knowledge, since her 4th marriage ended in 1993. That’s a long time.

I visited Mill Valley when I was in Northern California just because I knew she lived there and had hoped to causally run into her on the street or at the famous gardening store there. “Oh hey Lindsey! I’m just picking up this hoe to take back to NYC!”
I also went to Ojai as ground zero for Jamie Summers, despite its reputation I was very disappointed by Ojai.

R25 what is Ojai, CA like? I’m sure it’s changed since it was the backdrop for BW in 1978.

R25, it”s “Lindsay “ and “Sommers”.
Don’t EVER make that mistake again!
